Sometimes milestones even come about as the result of an accidental or unintended occurrence.  Own Goal in this context is interested in the psychology of the moment when a particular milestone is achieved or identified.    Association for Visual Arts Gallery 35 Church Street, Cape Town, South Africa Gallery hours: Weekdays 10h00 to 17h00, Saturdays 10h00 to 13h00 Phone: +27-21 424-7436, Fax: +27-21 423-2637, avaart@iafrica.com www.ava.co.za                               Wine at the opening is kindly sponsored by Spier www.spierwines.co.za                                                                                                                                                          To , please click on the link at the left of this email or email to avaart@iafrica.com
